Is this heating pad heavy? I am looking for a weighted heating pad.

I would not call it weighted. It is a little heavier just because it is bigger

Yes, it is and it is wonderful. I have had mine thirty-five years after being hit head on in a car accident. It is just now not heating even though the light goes on. I would absolutely recommend the switch that you control because it puts you to sleep and you can be burned easily if you tape the lever or whatever. I can't see why one would want to buy an additional cover as it comes with a washable one I believe. Though a cover is in the picture, I'm not sure it is in the package. This price is just a little more than I paid for it 35 years ago!

If it is the Thermophore, yes, it is.... They are fantastic - I have had many thru the years and will use nothing else - hope that helps!

I don't know what product it is you're asking about; the email had no picture. I think this is the electrical one I bought and sent back because you had to keep your finger on the on switch all the time! Very inconvenient and unrealistic. I finally bought one that has little beads and heats up in the microwave, and it is heavy.

Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad). Two totally different kinds of pads here. This is for deep, penetrating muscle heat on a physical therapy level not just for an ache or pain. The comment about holding onto the switch, that is for your safety because you hold onto the activate switch until you cannot stand it any hotter. You never want to fall asleep with a heat pad that is on. And the other comment about the bag with beads that heats up in the microwave, that is for an ache or pain once in awhile. Not real deep-seeded, disabling pain... Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad).

Of course you can lean against it. it is so comfortable and soft. Hard to believe it is a heating pad. The one side is very plush. Doesn't bunch up like most plastic heating pads with a cover.

No. It is not weighted but this is a fairly heavy gauge vinyl. I have had no issues with it moving or blowing back in like some lightweight ones do. I love this curtain. The half color, half clear really opens up the room.

Not overly heavy, but it is a lot of material that will keep you very warm. I personally love mine.

The underside is a thick vinyl or plastic but on top of it is a 2 inch thing removable cushion. So Im not sure a heating pad would do a ton through that. But I am hesitant with electric heating pads as is and it would be pretty confined in this. I personally would not use one in it. Maybe a hot water heating pat would be better.

Seems great to me. This is the best heating pad i have ever had. It has lasted through several years of almost daily use!I had a very expensive one the died on me twice in a row in a few months. The cords are stiff on cheaper models. Not this one.

When I purchased my Medium sized Therasage Far Infrared Heating Pad, it was somewhat hard, but after using it for 6 months to a year, it became very soft, much softer than I would like it. The heat from it is the same, but it's hard to place it on my easy chair because the softness made it flimsy to handle. Rob

I haven't found it to be too heavy but I only use it to dry my hair, not style it. I bought it for its power and reliability and its been everything I expected.

No - not light weight and not heavy - the weight helps with the pressure in the needed area

I live in South Louisiana where there is tremendous heat and humidity and I don't think it's too heavy. Also, if I purchase it from my doctor's office where I get microderm abrasions it costs 4 times that much. Good product, Lana Bel

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

yes, much heavier than others I've owned and provide better even-heat surface.

Physical weight-wise it's no that heavy, but in terms of warmth it was far too warm for me. Granted I'm a hot sleeper, but even in a NYC winter I was waking up due to heat. I actually returned it for this reason.

No it is not heavy, but this pan has a major defect. It shatters at higher temperatures, which is strange because that is what we purchased it for. We cooked a roast at 375 degrees for a few minutes and it broke to pieces in our oven (we saved the roast). I returned the pieces and got my money back.

Hi Julie B: The hamper is sturdy. As for 'heavy'. Not really. It has a solid top and solid bottom. It has supportive side bars, inside, top to bottom, at each of its four corners.The top is padded, and has a slight cushion feel to it.With a good two hand grip, on each side, one can move it.Round felt pads were put on the four nylon feet to add to its slide ability on hard surface floors.But, it isn't a lightweight. It is substantive. It was found to be a good product that will last.Hope this helps. Safety Guy.

Yes. It doesn't get warm enough to cause a problem. Mine is suspended on a panel over my feet, so the weight isn't on my feet, and it's just warm enough to be comforting. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't say it's heavy. It is fluffy and very padded. I agree, it is warm.
